Effects of Industry 4.0 FDI in the Visegrad countries

Seminar 04.02.2020 – expert workshop

The workshop-type seminar on February 4 was the first of the events scheduled within the project “Effects of Industry 4.0 on FDI in the Visegrád countries” financed by the Visegrad Fund. It was intended to prepare further project work, including the organization of a conference in October 2020 in Budapest.

The seminar was an opportunity to exchange experiences gained so far from conducting in-depth interviews with experts and from the critical literature review. It allowed for an exchange of views, consultation and discussion with participants – academic teachers, scholars and analysts from think tanks. The conclusions and main findings from the seminar will help us proceed with the next project tasks and undoubtedly will have a positive impact on the final research report.
